Frequently Asked Questions - Domain Name
1. Who owns the domain name
when I register with US Net?
You are the owner of your domain.
(http://www.yourname.com)
We will register your domain when you sign up for an account with
us. You will be registered with Internic as the administrative
contact and we will be listed as the technical and billing contact
for the domain. If you decide to secure a US Net domain
name, (http://yourname.us.net)
it will remain the property of US Net.
2. What does the Internic fee
cover?
The Internic fee of $70
covers your right to the domain for 2 years. The cost is $35
for each year to maintain your registration.
3. What if someone has a trademark
on a name used in my domain name?
Internic will register almost any
name that is not already taken. It is up to the person registering
the domain to be sure they are not infringing on anyone else's trademark
by either using their exact name or a similarity.
4. How long will it take to
register my new domain name?
Depending on the amount of traffic
Internic is experiencing, your site may be registered as early as
that same day up to a week after submission.
5. How long before the world
can connect to my domain name?
Your domain name should be available
within a couple of days after Internic has confirmed the registration
of your domain. Please be patient — updates to different
parts of the world may take longer than others.
6. What is the process to signup
or transfer a domain to US Net?
Signing up with US Net is easy,
just fill out our online signup form and we will take care of the
rest, including registering your domain and sending you confirmation
when your account is ready. If you are transferring a domain
we will submit a transfer request to Internic for you. About
a day or two after you have signed up, Internic will send you a
Domain Transfer Agreement. Just reply to Internic to give
them permission to transfer your domain. Within a few days,
your domain will be transferred. All domains are registered
with US Net as the technical and billing contact and the
customer as the administrative contact.
